Senior Ruby on Rails and Shopify Developer
Top Rated Plus | $200K+ Earned | 8,800+ Hours | 10+ Years
I build, scale, and rescue revenue-generating products with Ruby on Rails, Shopify, and practical AI integrations.
Most clients do not hire me for a quick patch. They hire me when they need a senior developer who can understand the business, take ownership of the codebase, protect revenue-critical workflows, and keep shipping safely over the long term.
My core expertise sits in three areas:
✅ Ruby on Rails SaaS, marketplaces, APIs, internal tools, and legacy product rescue
✅ Shopify stores, Shopify apps, Shopify Plus, B2B, and platform migrations
✅ AI integrations using Claude, OpenAI, RAG, embeddings, and structured outputs
I work best with founders, product teams, and agencies that already have a serious product, real users, real revenue, or a codebase that needs senior ownership.
